I had partial asthma as a baby, and as I grew up, my sternum started pushing outwards in the middle, and looks weird. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

A sternum protruding outward is called "pectus excavatum" or "pigeon's chest" which is due to overgrowth of the rib cage. It's not related to your asthma as a baby. The treatment varies depending on the severity and age of the patient and can vary from doing nothing if it is mild to placing braces during childhood if moderate and if severe the treatment is surgery.
